Why is biomass better than coal?
biomass can be regrown quickly
Why is biomass a better alternative than coal?
The main advantage of biomass over coal is that it is "carbon neutral". This means that in order for the biomass to be created, it consumed carbon dioxide from the environment. Upon burning biomass, no additional carbon is added to our atmosphere. Coal, on the other hand, is taking carbon out of the earth and adding more to our atmosphere.
Is burning oil better than coal?
Yes burning oil is better than coal. its because coal produces more carbon than oil
Why coke is better than coal?
Coke is a pure form of carbon and produce very less smoke on burning as compared to coal
Is burning of coal a chemical change?
Yes. The coal is a solid which than burningthe coal makes a gas.

How is water power better than coal power?
Hydroelectricity emits far fewer pollutants (including carbon dioxide) than burning coal.
Why coke is better than coal?
Coke is a pure form of carbon and produce very less smoke on burning as compared to coal
How much more electricity does biomass energy generate than coal?
I am pretty sure that LESS electricity is generated with biomass, meaning that its use is not as common as coal.
Why does the carbon dioxide released by burning biomass not result in global warming?
Biomass (burning of plant material) does release carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so it doesn't add extra CO2 or cause global warming. Burning biomass then is part of the natural carbon cycle which moves CO2 in and out of the atmosphere.The carbon dioxide that comes from burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) was taken out of the atmosphere millions of years ago, so releasing it now is adding extra CO2 (and causing global warming).This is why biomass is renewable energy and much better than fossil fuels.
Is burning of coal a chemical change?
Yes. The coal is a solid which than burningthe coal makes a gas.
Is biomass better than nuclear?
YES......For obvious reasons=biomass is renewable!=
How will biomass solve local and global problems?
Burning biomass (plant, vegetable matter and wood scraps) is a way of generating electricity that does not contribute to global warming. It could replace some fossil fuel burning power plants and lead to a reduction in global warming.Burning biomass does add carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere, but it is CO2 that was recently taken out of the atmosphere (when the plants were growing) so this is not extra CO2.

Give one advantage of coal rather than biomass as a fuel?
we are warmer with coal as we can use it as something to light our fire
Why is geothermal better than biomass?
It's an opinion
